Nov. 2014 This week I got an unexpected health diagnosis. It kind of knocked my socks off. It also took away my ability to make beads anymore. So I am changing my blog. I am sure I will write about beads sometimes. I have a whole studio to part with, but I have health issues that are much more important and I want to share my thoughts and challenges on this blog. I hope you will come along with me and share your words of wisdom or encouragement.

GRANDSON NUMBER THREE

Here's a picture of Caleb. He's really the middle grandson. Since I posted a picture of the other two I figured I better post one of him too. Then next I suppose I ought to cover the girls, right? Caleb is a cool boy. He's kind of laid back, pretty easy going. He plays soccer and basketball and he loves to draw and color. He has great color sense. This picture was taken when he went camping last weekend with his dad and his two sisters. He told me he had a great time, but Caleb is one of those kids who rarely has a bad time doing anything. I love his face, because when he smiles he uses his whole face to do it. Just looking at him makes me happy.

About Me

I am a retired registered nurse who began making beads in 1999. Before glass owned me I was a quilter and an oil painter. In Nov. of 2014 I learned that I have Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis. I was advised by my pulmonologist to stop making beads immediately. He said that although he could not prove that beadmaking was responsible for my disease, inhaling the fumes and possible debis from glass making would only make things worse. Therre is no cure for IPF and I want to protect my lungs as much as I can. So I have moved on to different forms of art.
